Our whole team is in it, not just finance

Five people touch our books and every one of them has a login at no extra cost. Under our old system that was three paid seats and a shared password. That alone made the switch worth it, and the software turned out to be better too.

Pros

The reconciliation screen is the clearest in this category. New staff learn it in a day.

Cons

Reporting is less flexible than QuickBooks once you need something non standard.

Used less than 6 months

Switched from QuickBooks and did not look back

The reconciliation screen is the best thing about it. Statement on the left, your records on the right, match and move. I trained a new hire on it in about twenty minutes with no manual.

Pros

The audit trail records every change with a name and a timestamp.

Cons

The Early plan's 20 invoice cap is too low to be useful for most businesses.

The cleanest accounting interface I have used

The audit trail is thorough. Every change is attributed and timestamped, which made our first real audit far less painful than I had braced for.

Pros

Inventory, projects and expense claims are included rather than upsold.

Cons

Reporting is less flexible than QuickBooks once you need something non standard.

Pros

Unlimited users on every plan. Our whole team has access without a per seat bill.

Cons

US sales tax runs through Avalara rather than natively, which is more setup up front.

No phone support when it actually mattered

We had a reconciliation problem three days before a filing deadline and there is no number to call. Email support answered the next morning, politely, and did not solve it. For a finance system, no phone line is a real gap.

Pros

Unlimited users on every plan. Our whole team has access without a per seat bill.

Cons

Payroll is not built in. In the US it hands off to Gusto, so you run two subscriptions.
